skate journal: broomfield park with rob then some solo safeway action (june 17, 2017)
Met Rob around 11 at Broomfield park. There was only a couple people there. I was feeling better after some rest and was wearing the PJ shoes again and the support felt great right away. Pretty early on I ollied onto the black ledge which has been hard for the last few months so I was hyped. We mostly skated the black ledge area. Rob was doing front noseslides, front boards, crooks. I had thought of a warm up line which I kind of did. Switch noseslide, kickflip to fakie on the mellow bank then halfcab noseslide. The halfcab noseslide was terrible, but it was fun. Also got front 50, b/s flip on the mellow bank, crooks the ledge then super close to treflip. Was hyped to also get a front 50 shove. Rob had super sick nose manuals both ways on the blue bank. We played a game of SKATE where we displayed how not to do backside flips. Ha, it lasted awhile. Rob won it with fakie 3 shove. 
Then I went to Crisis to maybe get some 8.25″ trucks, but I ended up just going to Safeway. Oh yeah, I was skating my 8.25 setup with the 8″ trucks on it. It felt good at Safeway though. I took awhile to get basic 50s, but I kept at it and ended up getting a few more. Front 5-0s and a super rare back 5-0. Halfcab noseslide. Then started hucking kick back 50 and just stuck with it. I kind of got one where I tic tac’d into feeble and back, but eventually I go too tired and called it a day.
